Summit Rollcage

Before I have a shop bend up tube does anyone know of a commercially available cage thats designed to be installed in cars without interiors?IE bars pass through the dash,Main hoop so close to the roof that the headliner wont fit,etc?I've been looking at some of the pictures of these cages and all of them their fit is horrible by my standards.A pillar bars that curve around the dash,under dash cross bars, 5" gaps between the main hoop and the sides of the car,atleast 3" away from the roof,etc.All of those "good fitting" cages would be absolutely lethal to anyone not belted in with an 8 pt harness wearing a helmet.The human body stretches a surprising amount in a severe crash.

I know exactly what you are talking about. To be honest, I don't think you are going to find what you are looking for in a kit. I installed an 8-point bar in a B-body using a main hoop from Alston and it fit better than others I've seen, but could have fit tighter to the B pillar area. I'm guessing that kits are made with lots of leeway for the do-it-yourself installer that covers a wide range of craftsmanship level. This will never satisfy the type of install that you are looking for.

For a cage install, I'd have a reputable chassis shop do it. I cringe whenever I see a cage done that doesn't have the front A pillar bars routed through the dash....looks horrible and is probably more dangerous than having no cage at all.
